Higher prices caused by President Trump's tariffs are estimated to cost households an average of $2,400 per year.
His economic policies are out of control, and it's Oregonians who are going to foot the bill.

With full funding, Oregon's Solar for All program could help over 8,000 low-income households install solar panels to lower their monthly energy bills.
The Trump administration just terminated it.
I'm demanding the EPA immediately reverse this decision & return the funds to @odoenergy.bsky.social.
We’re one step closer to over $14 million coming home to CD5 for projects across the district.
From investing in clean water, to building affordable housing, to improving public safety, this funding will be transformative for our communities – I won’t stop fighting to get it across the finish line.
It’s also why I introduced the Microplastics Safety Act – a first of its kind bill to require the Department of Health and Human Services to study the impacts of microplastics in our food, water, and more.
We need to find out more about what microplastics do to our health.
🧵(2/2)
While researchers have found microplastics to be tied to cancer and infertility, the full scope of their impact is still unknown.
That’s why this week, 170 countries are gathering to discuss regulating the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics.

Republicans cut nearly $200 billion for SNAP, a program that helps put food on the table for children, seniors, and veterans – all to give tax breaks to billionaires.
I won’t stop fighting to protect this essential program.
Over half of Americans say the cost of groceries is a major source of stress in their life right now.
Thanks to Trump’s chaotic economic policies, Oregonians are facing higher costs and tightening budgets.
We need to be making life more affordable, not less.

August and September are peak wildfire months here in Oregon, so here are a few tips to keep you and your loved ones prepared and safe.
For more information, you can sign up for emergency alerts at oralert.gov.
It was a great night at Happy Valley National Night Out – great food, great music, and great company!
Thank you to all the first responders, local law enforcement officers, and firefighters who joined us in bringing the community together.
60 years ago today, following generations of protest and determination, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law.
Our work to protect the right to vote is far from over – I’ll keep fighting to expand access to the ballot box and ensure all of our voices are heard.
Thanks to the Republicans’ trash budget, a Central Oregon tribal radio station will be losing 40% of its annual funding.
By providing up-to-date emergency alerts and local news, KWSO keeps our communities safe and informed – now, that’s at risk.

Thank you to all 16,000 of you who joined my telephone town hall last night with @democracyforward.org!
It was great to connect with so many of you. Thank you for calling in and sharing your concerns – next up, Molalla! Let’s Give ‘Em Hell!
Congratulations to Cole Hocker, former @uoregon.bsky.social Duck and newest men's 5,000m champion on his victory yesterday.
He also secured his spot on Team USA for the upcoming World Athletics Championships this September 💪 Can't wait to cheer you on!

Last call for tonight’s telephone town hall!
I'll be joined by a special guest from @democracyforward.org to discuss how we are fighting back against the Trump admin.
We'll be on the line tonight from 6:00PM – 7:00PM PT. I hope you’ll join us!

Between 2010 and 2024, investments in rural Oregon and our tribal communities doubled.
Now, Republicans are cutting that funding, and it's hurting our state.
I won't stop fighting to make sure Oregonians get the support they deserve.

Fewer jobs and higher costs – that’s Trump’s America.

Got questions for me? Join my telephone town hall this Monday, August 4!
I’ll be answering your calls from 6:00PM – 7:00PM PT – RSVP below to join!

Republicans’ trash budget guts funding for public broadcasting, which Oregonians in CD5 rely on for emergency alerts, especially during wildfire season.
This decision was dangerous and short-sighted. I won’t stop fighting to keep our communities safe.

I came to Congress to make life better for Oregonians, and that’s exactly what this funding will do.
I’ll continue to fight to make sure this funding for projects across our district is delivered to our communities.
